Coldplay in Paris last weekend

Everyone is an alien somewhere.

And sometimes those aliens come together in a football stadium to be entertained for two + hours by a rock band.

That happened to my wife and me a few weeks ago in Frankfurt, Germany. A Santa gift that still needed to be redeemed.

The band is Coldplay, and the tour name is “Music of the Spheres.”

What a show!

From the very first song to the very last, the band can keep the audience engaged with their music packed in a whirling show.

Words can’t describe it, so click the video link here to give you a bit of an impression.

It was my second Coldplay concert, and it was also the second time I started looking the next day where they would perform next so that I could repeat.

I wanted to experience it again.

This time it was Warsaw, then Berlin; those were the options. Followed by Paris, Brussels, London, Glasgow, and cities in South America.

Lima, Peru in September, anyone?

That’s how much I feel part of the experience there. I want to experience it again. It’s not just a rock concert. It’s an experience that immerses you.
